That sounds almost like becoming as bad as your enemies. And how can you expect to win without the public on your side? The powers that be win by getting the public on their side through manipulation, not simply pushing them aside. I don't think ends normally justify the means however so I rule out manipulation or abuse of the public unless it's something minor with a much bigger payoff for the public.
The public may be retarded but we can't just ignore them or replace them. These are the tools we've been given and we have to make do. At least they're not as retarded as they could be and most do have some common sense.

"72 million people voted" for one side -- how did that work out for them?
The public IS the problem.
